4/23/15 - CCLQ @ Ruth S. {Bluff Season Approaches}

It was a bittersweet day at Ruth S.'s house.  It's her LAST meeting before heading to The Bluff for the summer.  :o((

With heavy hearts, 7 members continued to work on our projects and shared some of the things that have kept us busy during the past week...

Joanna showed this bag at the beginning of the meeting:

Here's the inside of Joanna's new bag.  There's a pocket for everything:




Deborah worked on cutting HSTs during the meeting:

And... brought the fabrics that she is using in her Lady of the Lake quilt:

Jean was knitting on her Circle Vest... she's ALMOST done:

Just look how fast her hands are moving!!

Candy sewed binding down on the Cat Donation Quilt which may turn out to be for the Animal Rescue Auction instead of one of the other organizations that our Guild supplies with quilts:

Ella stitched on the binding of her Blue and Yellow quilt:

Ruth S. took notes regarding the CCLQ retreat at The Bluff:

Ruth B. knit some on her scarf and chatted with friends:

Joy showed off her 2 completed T-shirt quilts along with the 1 that is nearly done and knit on her tube scarf.  What you can't see in the first photo... is the shock and amazement that we all felt when the ceramic cat (from the top of the hutch) fell and was caught (unbroken) by Jean's bag (sitting on the chair just out of view):

T2 (Kennedy's Quilt) 72" x 91

T1 (Jacob's Quilt) 70" x 99"

T3 (R.W.'s Gift Quilt) 40" x  60"

Finishing Clue 8 of the Traveling Scarf MKAL

Dee Dee texted a picture of her Flamingo Quilt from its new home.  We missed you (and there was no one to tell us when it was time to go to lunch!):

Ruth S. shared the poem that she wrote to go with the iSpy Donation Quilt that she bound:

And... At the end of the meeting, Joanna had just finished the hemming on this blouse:

Joanna requested the inclusion of the following photo just for Dee Dee, who always thinks it's cold at Ruth S.'s house...  NOT today.  See!! Someone was even comfortable wearing a tank top:




Until next time...
Enjoy Spring!!!
